Method and Device for Inpainting of Colourised Three-Dimensional Point Clouds

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the first camera and a second camera is one of a wide angle camera, a panoramic camera, and a spherical camera.

6. The method according to claim 2, wherein at least one of the coordinates of the pixel values, the coordinates of the points of the point cloud, the coordinates of the points of the first transformed point cloud, and the coordinates of the points of the second transformed point cloud comprise at least an elevation angle and an azimuth angle.

7. The method according to claim 2, wherein at least one of the coordinates of the points of the point cloud, the coordinates of the points of the first transformed point cloud, and the coordinates of the points of the second transformed point cloud comprise an elevation angle, an azimuth angle and a distance value.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein each pixel value of the first image is assigned to coordinates within the first camera coordinate system based at least on a focal length of the first camera.

9. The method according to claim 2, wherein each pixel value of the second image is assigned to coordinates within the second camera coordinate system based at least on a focal length of the second camera.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the uncovered points and the covered points are detected based on a detection algorithm using one of 3D point projection, plane detection, feature detection and object detection.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the first camera has a first focal length, based on which coordinate are assigned to each pixel value of the first camera.

16. The method according to claim 1, wherein the point cloud is surveyed by means of the laser beam and the substitute pixel value is determined based on a property derived from a reflected part of the laser beam.

17. The method according to claim 1, wherein the substitute pixel value is determined by use of at least one of an intensity and a distance provided by the reflected part of the laser beam.
